McKay to Bell,
1 wide,
well, if anything that's a worse start - "we've had Defreitas at the Gabba, now it's Harmison," mutters Gnasher to my right - as a length ball just about lands on the cut strip and swings towards first slip

4.1

McKay to Bell,
no run,
gets his radar functioning, homing in around off stump and blocked

4.2

McKay to Bell,
no run,
nipping back off the surface, wide of the stumps and Bell is happy to leave

4.3

McKay to Bell,
2 runs,
full, slightly wide and Bell skips forward lightly to loft the ball over extra cover, not perfectly timed but they get a couple into the deep

4.4

McKay to Bell,
FOUR,
overpitched again, Bell drives uppishly but into a gap, this has more middle about it and beats the chasing fielder to the extra cover boundary

4.5

McKay to Bell,
no run,
length delivery in the channel, not doing much off the straight and Bell shoulders arms

4.6

McKay to Bell,
no run,
driving again and edged but it doesn't carry, the ball bouncing a few inches in front of a sprawling second slip

England

McKay to Cook,
no run,
pitched up around off stump, played towards mid-off coming forward

FOUR,
floated up outside off stump, "hit me, hit me, hit me!" screams the ball and Cook duly plays a prim and proper cover drive to the appropriate part of the ground

full and straight again, this comes off somewhere nearer the toe of the bat and rolls to mid-off

8.3

McKay to Cook,
no run,
pitched up around the line of off, punched back towards mid-off

8.4

McKay to Cook,
no run,
pushed across, again probably a touch full, Cook doesn't time his drive towards the man at extra cover

8.5

length ball, angled across but offering Cook width, he scythes the bat through a meaty cut but Warner pulls off a terrific diving stop to take the ball on the bounce and save his side a boundary

no run,
line and length outside off, stands tall and taps square
